Is Lacob aware of this? How on earth does this guy keep his job with the warriors? I mean let knbr have him but please show the fans some respect and get a legitimate play-by-play announcer that is befitting of Lacob & Gruber’s tenure and the new direction that they are trying to take the franchise. Having Bob “Fake Laughter” Fitzgerald continue to insult the fan base is just that, insulting.

Tue, 16 Aug 2011 17:20:45 +0000http://blogs.mercurynews.com/kawakami/?p=11585#comment-92854I don’t like what R Ridder did at all and I think it’s really sleazy, but I get it because he’s a PR hack and in some perverse way, he probably thought it was part of his job. Fitz’s alleged involvement in that debacle (posting under the name T.C. Firehouse) is inexusable and a huge lapse in ethics for a team’s play-by-play announcer, IMO. That, on top of the fact that he back-stabbed Greg Papa to steal the job in the first place just reinforces the notion that he should be canned before the start of the next Warriors season, whenever that is. Lacob & Guber need to start fresh with a new play-by-play guy. Fitz’s gel-capped head and smarmy face are just a constant reminder of Cohan and Rowell’s 16-year reign of stupidity.

RE: Flunkster Dude – What he did was pretty horrible for a PR dude – What I appreciate is the Flunkster Dude stepped up, admitted he was an idiot, took responsibility, and at his comments were at least trying to keep talk positive – especially since W’s fans have had it tough and are extremely negative Nancies (and have reasons to be). As long as he’s done a good job otherwise and he has a good attitude, I’m okay with the guy.

It’s not being a homer or not, it’s being a jerk and talking down
to his audience, like Fitz does. If you are going to be a homer
at least have a good personality like Kruk & Kupper.

Mon, 15 Aug 2011 18:15:17 +0000http://blogs.mercurynews.com/kawakami/?p=11585#comment-92824This is the way that VCs work. They are methodical and they give everyone a chance to prove themselves. The old, failed regime members always have a tough time adjusting because VCs typically don’t put up with politics and BS. They just want results and don’t care how it happens. Sales is dealt with by numbers. Make your number and you stay, miss your number and you leave. You don’t need to clean house in sales. It’s a self-cleansing operation that cleans itself.

Mon, 15 Aug 2011 18:03:25 +0000http://blogs.mercurynews.com/kawakami/?p=11585#comment-92823I have not read anything about the summer play or development of any of the Warriors. How hard could it have been to have had someone from the local media attend the Drew League games in LA? DWright, Tyler and Thompson were all there. Throw us a bone we want, instead of this business management crap.
